1. A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
2. Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked.
3. He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils.
4. The sluggard willeth and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat.
5. The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded.
6. Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
